Grouping like terms.
Illustrative Examples:
If the negative unknown terms on both sides of the equation can be merged together, and there is a term with a greater constant-factor on the right hand side of the equation, then we move it to the left hand side next to the other unknown. If there were any constant-term on the left hand side then we would move them to the right hand side. The equation has been arranged like this, because in the next step when we collect like terms, the new unknown will have a positive sign.
